Artist sketch sheet
This are my 8 pictures for my first Animal Collage assignments where we had to draw 8 drawings in a different view each. I made 6 drawings with my grey pencils and the 2 other drawings using a graphite bar. You were also able to make one drawing with indian ink but I was running out time so I chose not to
Speed sketching assignment
You may think that even a four year old child can draw this so why are you doing such an assignment in the second year of secondary school. When I first heard what we were supposed to do I also thought this, but you will understand why we have done this when I have explained the assignment to you. You were supposed to draw 7 pictures of you animal in different styles of drawing, you only get one minute for each picture. As can see in picture number 1 I drew my eagle in one go, my pencil stayed on the paper until it was finished.

Close up drawing
This (famous) drawing is a close up drawing from an eagle, as you can see I chose to draw a close up of a piece from the head with an eye. I have made this drawing using blue, some black, brown and white crayons.
So, what have I learned from all this?
A project like this isn’t just to get good marks but also to learn new things and new ways of working. You can use the things you have learned to improve another project for example. You have more experience when making an assignment, if you have a problem for example you know better how to solve that problem. I also learned a lot of things during this project, not just about how to improve your drawing skills but also how to make sure you have everything you need to make a website like I am doing now for example. These skills are almost as important as your drawing skills, if you can draw really well but you always loose your drawing you can show it to nobody or like me, when you make an assignment and than it has to be published it is quit useful to take pictures and publish them on your website on time. But luckily I also learned some new drawing techniques. You can use smudging to make more details in a drawing or I now know how to properly work with a graphite bar and a weird kind of weather that is used to make your graphite bar drawing look better. This is what I have learned from this project.
